This particular study on rats showed mandibular growth using deca durabolin:
The effect of anabolic steroids on mandibular growth. - PubMed - NCBI
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of nandrolone (Deca-Durabolin, AKZO Nobel, Cambridge, United Kingdom) on mandibular growth in juvenile and adult rats with radiographic cephalometry and immunoradiology. Juvenile (n = 16) and adult (n = 16) inbred female Wistar-Kyoto rats were compared. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups with 8 experimental (E) and 8 control (C) animals in each subgroup. Lateral headfilms taken before and after the 70-day study period were analyzed. Body weight and blood serum IGF-I levels were monitored weekly. The results showed marked mandibular growth changes in both the juvenile and the adult E rats. Body weight increase was larger in the E than in the C animals. The IGF-I blood serum levels were similar in the juvenile E and C rats but higher in the adult E animals than in the adult C animals. It was found that the anabolic steroid (Deca-Durabolin) had a significant effect on mandibular growth in both juvenile and adult rats.
It wont fix the positioning of the mandible, but will add mass. However it isnt a replacement for people who need jaw surgery.
Also these rats were female, which means that the growth wont be as significant in males, but also take in consideration the steroid used is classed as a weak steroid. Tren or winstrol theoretically will have much greater effects
